Here's a current example of how hydroponic tech can help remote communities. I can imagine a time when this is in every neighbourhood. And 3d printed options would increase the ability for self-sufficiency. I also imagine a time where corporations are not in control, so 🤷😄 @bearandroses.bsky.social

#Minneapolis #Minnesota #Signalboost of the Day Some of our neighbors are working to feed, get vet care for and fosters for as many of the pets who’ve lost their humans to ICE kidnappings or whose humans can’t work right now as they can and they need some ❤️. www.spotfund.com/story/a00a02...

#Minneapolis Personal Me: This is so much b.s. This AM, neighbors on my friend’s block foiled a kidnapping despite being assaulted and gassed. A school bus driver had to block the door to keep them from entering the bus while they were at it. 4 legal observers were kidnapped near us yesterday. 😡

It’s 2026. There is a measles outbreak in the prison for babies

Choose kindness over cruelty. Capitalism is brutal enough without the ‘pull yourself up by your bootstraps’ commentary

He's 100% correct. It's classic treason. Government of Canada (CSIS, RCMP, Foreign Affairs) need to do something about it.

#Minneapolis We’re still here and they’re still here, kidnapping our neighbors, harassing small business owners, forcing people to hide out of fear, threatening activists. Rearranging the deckchairs won’t fix that. End ICE. Impeach Noem and Miller. We have to stop them NOW.

#Booksky So Amazon is keeping the lion’s share of the cover $ for our latest title, THE COMPLETE ASTREIANT, which means our amazing authors get paid less and we get paid less (and have to wait 2 months for it), which is why we’re asking folks to buy direct! queenofswordspress.com/product/comp...

New experiment. Lions Mane and Blue Oyster mushroom kits. This one looks like Lions Mane. Probably not cost effective but fun nonetheless
